The 5 October 2011 grounding of the MV Rena on Otaiti was acknowledged as the worst environmental disaster in New Zealand’s history. The grounding and subsequent pollution had significant environmental impacts that were experienced in anthropogenic terms as impacts upon social, economic, and cultural well-being. The Ministry for the Environment responded with the Rena Long-Term Environmental Recovery Plan launched on 26 January 2012. The plan’s goal is to “restore the mauri of the affected environment to its pre-Rena state”.

Optimising the Māori in Māori Economic Development – How Māori values inform investment decisions for collective assets

Expertise: 
Business & Economics, Traditional Knowledge

Economic performance in this project means moving beyond the narrow definitions of economic efficiency and moving towards the concept of socially optimal outcomes, where maximising the well-being of the collective and minimising externalities to the natural environment are paramount. The concept of socially optimal outcomes is particularly important for iwi/hapū asset managers given the complex challenges and multiple resource pressures they face such as climate change and declining water quality.
